CS Trident, Holy Cross to meet in 2025 Canadian Final for the Jubilee Trophy

Defending champions CS Trident Ouest de Québec will meet the local side and two-time champions Holy Cross FC for a chance to lift the Jubilee Trophy at historic King George V Park this Monday in St. John’s. The two women’s amateur clubs reached the Canadian Final after they won their respective groups at Canada Soccer’s 2025 National Championships.

The women’s amateur Canadian Final will start at 11.00 local time on Monday 13 October at King George V Park, with a live broadcast on CanadaSoccerTV (09.30 ET / 06.30 PT). Ticket passes to King George V Park are just $10 for the day (which includes entry for both the men’s and women’s Canadian Finals).

CS Trident finished first in Group A undefeated with two wins and one draw. They won 6:0 over Edmonton Angels SSC on Wednesday, won 2:0 over St. John’s SC on Friday, and drew 0:0 with group runners up Caledon United FC on Saturday. CS Trident won the Jubilee Trophy last year after they won 3-1 on kicks over Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC in the 2024 Canadian Final in Surrey, British Columbia.

Holy Cross FC finished first in Group B with a perfect record of three wins in three matches. They won 2:1 over Banat FC Kitchener on Wednesday, 5:0 over FC Northwest Starz (Winnipeg) on Thursday, and 3:1 over Victoria Gorge FC on Saturday. Holy Cross FC won back-to-back Canadian titles in 2022 (when they beat London Alliance FC Galaxy in Vaughan) and 2023 (when they beat Griffons CS Mont-Royal Outremont in Halifax).

Canada Soccer’s National Championships serve as the pinnacle event to the 2025 amateur season, bringing together the best clubs from across the country. Before the Monday Final, Caledon United FC will face Victoria Gorge FC for the bronze medal on Sunday afternoon at 16.00 local time at King George V Park.

This year marks the biggest year ever for Canada Soccer’s national amateur competitions with a record 128 qualified amateur teams set to take part in 14 divisions from the Futsal Canadian Championship in April to the Player-Development Program Championship in August and then the National Championships in October. Those 128 teams have qualified from a group of more than 1,100 teams taking part in competitive leagues and cup competitions from across the country.

Complete match schedules with kickoff times are published at canadasoccer.com/competitions within each division’s respective landing page alongside the list of qualified teams. As Canada Soccer’s largest national event featuring clubs from coast to coast, the National Championships have served as the nation’s primary amateur soccer competition for more than 100 years, with the men’s competition inaugurated in 1913, the youth competition inaugurated in 1966, and the women’s competition inaugurated in 1982. At all age levels, the National Championships provide a meaningful week-long soccer experience for host cities and participating teams, as well as the players, coaches, support staff, officials, and volunteers.
